Save Your Fave

You can as many photos as you'd like, but you can only a single photo within each month, choose wisely.

Purchasing Options

First Edition prints from January are currently being reserved for Art Week in Marquette, where we'll be having a small gallery event at the U.P. Supply Co. headquarters. Come on by.

You may still purchase a January photo box which comes with one 5x7 print for each sunrise that month, or purchase a 5x7 Collector's Edition. See more details.

Shipping will begin the first week of July.

Fuel the Sunrises

Looking for more ways to support this crazy project? You can always add a cup of coffee to keep me going strong in the mornings, or a tank of gas to get me to some new places.

Every once in a great while I send out a newsletter with sunrise updates, life stories, project developments, and various shenanigans. I'd love to share these with you and will respect your inbox.

Blah Blah Blah

For additional sunrise photos follow both @BugsySailor and @UPSupplyCo on Instagram. I don't post daily, but you will see additional content unvailable here.

Musings

I’m getting soft, losing my touch. For a second day in a row I nearly blew it. I woke up feeling it was looking pretty bright outside. Then I looked at my clock, 8:27. Thankfully, I know it’s twenty minutes fast. Why I haven’t changed that, I have no idea. I must have woken up early yeateraay, turning off my alarm before it went off and not turning it back on.

I’m still convinced a new sunrise alarm clock app needs to be built. All you do is set how much earlier than the sunrise you’d like to get up, so it automatically adjusts throughout the year.

In other thoughts, it’s not about the photography. It’s about the wind on your face.

Daily Fruit dated January 27

Daily Fruit was a daily journal I kept from October 2001 through July 2015. The idea was "a few words a day keeps the psychiatrist away". Not sure that worked, but it was an incredibly healthy practice. They are meant to be read for face value.
